The status word is used to:

  • Find out the current controller status.
  • Find out the operation mode status.

Data description

The binary representation of the status word value and its corresponding meaning is as follows:

State machine dedicated bits

Bits 0-3, 5 and 6 determine the drive state:

Note that the Quick stop bit is activated at a low level.

Internal limit active bit

Bit 11 indicates if an internal drive limitation in motion is being applied. This limit implies that the drive is taking control of the motor in, for example, limiting movements in one direction when a switch limit is pressed. Internal limit can be activated by Stop manager, but also in Velocity mode when target velocity is out of defined limits.

Initial angle determination process bit

Bit 14 indicates if the initial angle determination process necessary for BLAC has been completed correctly.

This bit contains the information of the commutation alignment state. After power on this bit is 0 as the commutation feedback is not aligned. The first time the drive enters in operation enable state, a phasing procedure is started (forced or non-forced) and this bit is set once is finished successfully. This bit is reset every time a feedback is modified.

Specific mode bits

The status word includes 2 mode-specific bits (bits 12 and 13) that change their meaning depending on the mode of operation.
